Beautiful rig, Ty. By the way, here's one you should probably take a look at:

VERY impressive!
Once you get her set up, it should make a 1000 yards look like short range!

Ty, ever consider getting a gun bearer? I think that thing needs wheels. Please keep us posted. Best of luck with it. There won't be a squirrel safe anywhere in the country.

Thanks for the kind words! I realize this is certainly not a Handi, so I'll keep posts about it a minimum on here. I don't post elsewhere on this site, so maybe I'll put a few sparse updates about my new gun up.

For those who were wondering the barrel is about 35" with brake, guns weighs 21 lbs as you see it, 22 ready to shoot with the bag bar on and a stout load in the chamber.

Shouldnt that gun have a BC stock with a curved plate on it instead of that recoil cushioned stock?

Sure would be fun to shoot a coyote with that gun!

Don't be afraid to post here Ty. I think we can make an exception in your case.

Box of 5 was $382.99 when it was discontinued at Midway . Guess they didn't have too many sales!
